Do Not Use Electron Cash!

[HCP]

Will it be safe to use Electrum BTC and Electron Cash wallets with the same address on the same PC?
Or it will be better to create new BTC wallet in Electrum?

As far as I'm aware there have not been any reported cases of people losing BTC or BCH if they use the "official" wallets from the "official" websites.

Having said that, it would probably be prudent to use different wallets, with different addresses. If nothing else, it will help with your privacy across the two chains. Unless you have a very good reason to continue using that BTC wallet (for instance, expecting payouts to old addresses) then you should probably create a new wallet.


TL;DR:
Is it necessary to create a new wallet? Probably not.
Would it be wise to create a new wallet? Probably so.

AFAIK you shouldn't have any problems with that from latest versions.
you can always split by using VM with linux mint for example on top of your windows.
that's how I use it.

Actually the opposite is correct - Windows VM inside Linux host.

You put criminals in jail, not innocent people in jail (and keep criminals outside), right?

It's easy for bad stuff to go inside the VM from the host, but the opposite is hard.

I verified the sha256 hash, but how do I verify the signature? Can someone post the linux commands?

The short and relatively simple version would be something like:

1. Download Jonald Fyookball's public key from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/master/pubkeys/jonaldkey2.txt

2. Import the key to gpg using:

Code:

sudo gpg --import /path/to/savedfile/jonaldkey2.txt

3. Download the appropriate "sig" file from here: https://github.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/tree/master/sigs-and-sums/3.0/win-linux

4. Verify the file

Code:

sudo gpg --verify ElectronCash-3.0.tar.gz.sig ElectronCash-3.0.tar.gz

NOTES:
- ensure the .sig file and the tar.gz are both in the folder where you execute commandline syntax above
- gpg: Good signature from "Jonald Fyookball <jonf@electroncash.org>"  should be displayed after step 4.
- You can safely ignore:

Code:

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

It just means you have not "vouched" for Jonald's key... as long as you see 'Good signature from "Jonald Fyookball <jonf@electroncash.org>"' It is OK.

So it does not work for the new version (3.1.2). Was it not signed by Jonald Fyookball?

Code:

sudo gpg --import jonaldkey2.txt
gpg: key EFF1DDE1: public key "Jonald Fyookball <jonf@electroncash.org>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1


sudo gpg --verify ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz.sig ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/me/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: the signature could not be verified.
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)
should be the first file given on the command line.

Can someone confirm this for the new version for linux?

Seems to work OK for me...


I downloaded: https://github.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/blob/master/sigs-and-sums/3.1.2/win-linux/ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz.sig
and: https://electroncash.org/downloads/3.1.2/win-linux/ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz

I also double checked the SHA256... which checks out (https://github.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/blob/master/sigs-and-sums/3.1.2/win-linux/SHA256.ElectronCash-3.1.2.tar.gz.txt)

Maybe check the SHA256 of your downloaded .tar.gz, maybe your download got corrupted?

Bug or not every developer, creator or founder of any digital wallet for keeping our digital money must and should have a back up plan if a certain or some complications arises, user may loss whatever they keep on that account that they worked for a long period of time, then when it gone they will just say 'sorry for your loss', in the other hand some digital wallet are proven to be scam that they copied the property of the said wallet application, that when you enter and create account with them you'll money pop like a bubble. So careful review about the wallet before using one. Or use the wallet that has been used by many, you might request the link to have the same link they use and using.

Hi there. So i wanted to give it a try and used a small wallet to check if electron cash is safe to use. Well it is not. I imported a wallet using all the precautions needed to save my bitcoins, and imported a small amount of bcc into the wallet. A couple of minutes later the bcc were sent away like magic. Farewell...

So be carefull!!!

Ah, you are right, the .sig file did not download properly. It does work.

This is most likely a bitcoin transaction it flipped to bitcoin. And it showed my btc transaction.
